Bagging Bargains: Gift card purchases can bring bonuses

There is a SmartSource coupon book in Sunday’s editions of The Patriot-News. That’s good news, considering that Thursday is Thanksgiving Day and we rarely, if ever, get coupons the week before a major holiday.

Double gas points on participating items and all gift cards

GIANT FOOD STORES: Giant this week is offering double gas points on more than two dozen participating items and all gift cards. So if gift cards are on your shopping list, you can pick up a little something for yourself with the gas points deal.

By the way, Saturday is the last day to redeem gas points, so don’t wait until the last minute, particularly because it will be a busy shopping weekend. You get a 10-cents-a-gallon discount for each $100 you spend on grocery and pharmacy items. The discount is valid on one fill-up to a maximum of 30 gallons.

Earn extra gas rewards with purchase of gift cards

WEIS MARKETS: You also can cash in on extra gas rewards at Weis by buying gift cards. For each $50 you spend on gift cards you’ll receive 10 cents a gallon on one fill-up to a maximum of 20 gallons.

Monday is the last day to take advantage of these offers. Karns’ new circular week begins Tuesday.

Deals on Advil, South Beach diet or meal bars and selected Coke products

CVS PHARMACY: If you’re looking for free stuff, check out the CVS circular. It has two pages of items you can get free after figuring in the ExtraBucks offers. They include 10-count packs of Advil, a Bayer Contour easy meter, South Beach diet or meal bars and 1.25 liter bottles of selected Coke products.
